Yeah, it should.
One could argue you should also check that it's got only valid ipv6
characters in it, but since the colon isn't allowed in a hostname this
shouldn't be a problem. (And we cannot have a <host>:<port> stored in
conn->pghost).
My guess is Greg missed the second part of it that checks for a colon
-- so maybe expand on that a bit in the comment, and on the fact that
we already know the port can't be part of it.
